thekid123: Dear All,

I'm new to this forum and I would like some help please. I was recently refused for tier4 visa and I have submitted an administrative review form. I was refused as the ECO claimed I had not payed any of my course fees even though my CAS showed all course fees were paid. Furthermore the ECO quotes the wrong fee in the refusal leading me to believe he looked at the wrong CAS when making his decision.
Does anyone know how long the review decision takes. Also would I need to re-submit documents I already submitted with my original application (eg. Bank statement)? Please your answers would be most helpful as I submitted just the form without resubmitting evidence and I am now worried. Thanks in advance.

If you have indeed paid all your fees and the ECO refused your application by claiming you didn't pay anything, I would suggest that you immediately send them an email apart from the administrative review and bring their attention to it quickly. They cannot just be making decisions without properly checking through documents. Send an email to .

riteaide: Not easier said. Let him try. No harm in trying. This is not a regular refusal. He was refused for not having paid when he infact fully paid. Let him email and address this and follow up with calls. They will attend to him.

k2joye: This is what am saying

bobo_dudu100: Hey guys I want to explain my present situation. So basically I was a former student of a particular uni but was kicked out due to poor performance. This was then made known to the home office who then curtailed my current visa to 60days,which expires on 18th September.I am aware I have to apply for a new visa and have decided to make my application back in the uk as i am oversees and I have some of my documents still in the uk.Now i have been granted a place in a different university and i am waiting for my CAS document to arrive. So I wanted to know if i could use my CAS document to serve as proof for a legitimate reason for me to back in the uk when i get to heathrow immigrations. Whats your opinion on this guys?

Vicjustice:
To whom should he address the email?
Understand that when a visa is refused, it is refused, recorded and closed. The ECO (Entry Clearance Officer) does not have the power to reverse the decision, only the ECM (Entry Clearance Manager) can make reconsideration: but unfortunately, the kind of email that you suggested do not reach the managers, only the letters that are explicitly addressed to the managers are delivered to them. Yet unfortunately, due to the volume of letters and emails received on daily basis, these managers have many serious stuff to attend to than to waste their time over an issue of a failed visa applicant when there are people assigned to handle this sort of situation in administrative review

amigoes: Vicjustice, justwise and other major contributors.......

Really appreciate your inputs and efforts.

Please I urgently need your e-mail addresses.

Sorry for the late reply.
I was also sent that mail.

Just keep tracking as they have advised on this thread.

I just got my visa today and was actively tracking it online on my fone, at a point I was tired of tracking.

Although visa was given on my grad day - which is today (05/09/13) it was issued on the 30/09/13 in Sheffield just like Raphel advised.

So all you can do is wait to see status change online.

Thanks all for the wishes. Thanks to Raphel also, u gave me hope. Exactly 21 days like urs.
